Leitmotifs
Being a poet, Eumolpus asks important questions
documetna's strategy as an analogy that we will begin to think as analogies (to initiate this way of thinking which will be crucial). These questions, in some sense, will guide us through our exhibit.
Why are you dressed so poorly?
Why is there a poverty of aesthetic thinking?
So what brought on this sad state?
How did the universtiy become a tool of instrumental reason?
What happened to dialectical discussion?
Why do we think we have reached a permanent synthesis?
Where is philosophy that once led the way for us?
Is Western philosophy as we experience it today the only philosophy?
What was it like before?
What could it be like for us in our current situation to supplement our thought with an aesthetic dimension?
The procedure will be atemporal and simultaneous. To follow the exhibit is to do many things at once:
- Realize that while going through the exhibit, it is not that Heidegger comes before Gilles Deleuze and Francis Bacon, but that a double banded thinking is required of all the thinkers being coexistent.
- To assist this task, the thinkers will be broken down into essential sections guided by keywords that will overlap one another. For example, if we see in Heidegger a section like "Phusis (Spectacle)" and then under Deleuze | Bacon as "Spectacle (Phusis)," it is done so to show the exchange occuring between the thinkers.
- The vertical organization of the sidebar should not be interpreted as "steps" that go from top to bottom.
- Flipping back and forth between sections is recommended.
